WIPPING BOY

That Friday night
He was returning to his house after working
Two streets before coming to house,
A moribund person found
Which he tried to help

The lights of the sirens of the police
They flooded his body of edginess
And they found him next to the victim.

Without asking anything him,
They declared him a culprit


For seventeen years
He supported his innocence
For seventeen years
It was deprived of freedom
Seventeen years
Fulfilling sentence
For a crime

That not are assignment
They declared him a culprit

For seventeen years
He supported his innocence
For seventeen years
It was deprived of freedom
Seventeen years
Fulfilling sentence
For a crime
That not there assignment

His case was the typical one
Of sentence without judgment or defense
He, was in the wrong place

In the least appropriate moment
They needed a culprit
And there he was
They needed someone who was not speaking
They needed someone who was not asking
And there he was

Seventeen some years later,
And with some white hairs he raises,
Bobby Ramirez felt free finally
He had entered with nineteen
He was going out with thirty six

He decided to come back home
And to live in peace with him same
Without looking for revenge
He returned to his former employment
And he found an empty lot

He returned to house and stung to the door
A stranger informed him
That his famíly had left
The fireplace three years behind
Without leaving whereabouts

He returned to the coffee
where his girlfriend was working
Lupe, already was continuing there,
Already she was not serving coffee
She had turned into the owner of the bar
She had married his former chief


Bobby Ramirez, was alone
For the first time in his life
Everything what had had
Everything in what he had believed

He had disappeared
He felt sad and without knowing that to do
It decided to return to the only place
Where he had been last seventeen years


He,She went to the house of determinations
He bought a revolver calibrate 24
A hood was placed on his head
And held the central bank up


When the police came to the place of the acts,
Bobby Ramirez did not object resistance
He submitted and was left to handcuff
They put his body in the police car
This time if there was reason
This time if ithe had you prove
this time if he had sworn

This time if there was verdict
They condemned him:
To seventeen years and one day
